Hummin'
All the way to reno
Dusted the non-believers
And challenge the laws of chance

Now sweeter
You're so sugar sweet
You may as well have 'kick me'
Fastened on your sleeve

You know what you are
You're gonna be a star.
You know what you are
You're gonna be a star

Wait?, is written on your feet
Your achilles heel
Is the tendency to dream
But you've know that from the
beginning
You didn't have to go so far
You didn't have to go.

You know what you are
You're gonna be a star.
You know what you are
You're gonna be a star

You know who you are
You know who you are
You know who you are

Hummin'
All the way to reno
You've written your own
directions
And whistles the rules have
changed

You know what you are
You're gonna be a star (star)
You know what you are,
You're gonna be a star (star)
You know what you are,
You're gonna be a star (star)
You know what you are,
You're gonna be a star (star)

Hummin'
All the way to reno
All the way to reno
All the way to reno
You're gonna be a star
You're gonna be a star
You're gonna be a star
You're gonna be a star

It's not that she
walked away
Her world got smaller
All the usual places
The same destinations
Only something's changed.

It's not that she wasn't
rewarded
With pomegranate afternoons
And Mingus, Chet Baker and chess
It's not stampede and fortune
Of prim affectations
She's off on a riot(?)
And she knows now
Is greater than the whole
Of the past
Is greater and now she knows

She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be.
She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be.

It's not that the transparency
Of her earlier incarnations
Now looked back on
Were rich and loaded
With beautiful vulnerability
But now she knows
Now is greater
And she knows that.

She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be
She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be.

Now is greater
Now is greater
And she knows that.

She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be.
She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be.

She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be.
She just wants to be somewhere
She just wants to be.

It's not like if angels
Could truly look down
Stir up the trappings
A light on the ground
Remind us of what, when, why or
who
The how's up to us
Me and you
And now is greater than the
whole
Of the past
Is greater and now she knows
that.

Easy to poke
yourself square in the eye
Harder to like yourself, harder
to try

These are espouses
Postcards and neoprene
Roses a dollar a stem
Everyone sleeping or pulling the
long haul and
Keys/caves(?) in the cooler it's
three A.M.
And saturn is beckoning no-one
It's offering up.

Late shift convenience store,
burn out the lights
Telescope roof towards the
north-western sky
You pulled the ladder and
no-ones the wiser
You find your sights and
discover

Saturn is orbiting nothing
He's off on its own,
He's breaking from home.

Harder to look yourself square
in the eye
Easy to take off...

You found the ladder in the
pattern of your wrist
You've seen and you've marked
horizions
Mother was difficult, she made
you cry
Cover the mirror, look to the
sky

You climb into your rocket ship
trying
Lift up and hold out your hands.

Saturn is orbiting nothing
He's off on its own
He's breaking from home

Saturn is orbiting nothing
He's off on its own
He's breaking from home

Saturn returns when you chased
down, it slows
Throw them into a new gravity

Harder to look yourself square
in the eye
Easy to poke yourself, easy as
pie
Easy to take off, harder to fly
Harder to wake Galileo.

Charades, pop
skill
Water hyacinth, named by a poet
Imitation of life.
Like a koi in a frozen pond.
Like a goldfish in a bowl.
I don't want to hear you cry.

Thats sugarcane that tasted
good.
Thats cinnamon, thats Hollywood.
C'mon, c'mon no one can see you
try.

You want the greatest thing
The greatest thing since bread
came sliced.
You've got it all, you've got it
sized.
Like a Friday fashion show
teenager
Freezing in the corner
Trying to look like you don't
try.

Thats sugarcane that tasted
good.
Thats cinnamon, thats Hollywood.
C'mon, c'mon no one can see you
try.

No one can see you cry.

That sugar cane that tasted
good.
That freezing rain, that's what
you could.
C'mon, c'mon on no one can see
you cry.

This sugarcane
This lemonade
This hurricane, I'm not afraid.
C'mon, c'mon no one can see you
cry.

This lightning storm
This tidal wave
This avalanche, I'm not afraid.
C'mon, c'mon no one can see me
cry.

That sugar cane that tasted
good.
That's who you are, that's what
you could.
C'mon, c'mon on no one can see
you cry.

That sugar cane that tasted
good.
That's who you are, that's what
you could.
C'mon, c'mon on no one can see
you cry.

Hey there now
young Willy
Swing alone, quote the
scriptures
Keep them guessing which bed you
crawled from
Justify, just deny
Was it fun?
Your time has come
What have you done?
What have you done?

That's when the insults start to
sting
You can't remember anything
The chorus chiming
Every chorus the machine of god
Is singin'.

It's the poison that it measures
Brings a luminal vision
It's the knowing of the link
The expectant Southern women
It's the wolf that knows which
sheep to dip to save itself
It's the octopus that crawled
back to the sea.

That's when the insults start to
sting
You can't remember anything
The chorus chiming
Every chorus the machine of god
Hey.....

Hammered shooting plywood in the
backyard
Laughin' 'cause the racket makes
the blackbird sing
Like the holy terror
Suck the marrow from the bone
Singe, you're always burning
books
You got the chorus and the ring

That's when the insults start to
sting
You can't remember anything
The chorus chiming
Every chorus the machine sings.

That's when the insults start to
sting
You can't remember anything
The chorus chiming
Every chorus the machine sings.

That's when the calibration
brittle
As a stick hits you, the gold
ring and the time museum
Cheaper than a link of gold
rings
Gold ring.

I used to think
As birds take wing
They sing through life so why
can't we?
You cling to this
You claim the best
If this is what you're offering
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain.

The nighttime creases
Summer schemes
And stretches out to stay.
The sun shines down
You came around
You love easy days.

But now the sun,
The winter's come.
I wanted just to say
That if I hold
I'd hope you'd fold Open up
inside, inside of me.

I used to think
As birds take wing
They sing through life so why
can't we?
You cling to this
You claim the best
If this is what you're offering
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain.

This winter song
I'll sing along
I've searched its still refrain
I'll walk alone
I've given this, take wing
Celebrate the rain.

I used to think
As birds take wing
They sing through life so why
can't we?
You cling to this
You claim the best
If this is what you're offering
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain
I'll take the rain.
